Another month of the year 2024 is at its closing, and four Bollywood releases dropped in theaters this month. While Varun Grover’s All India Rank has been kept out of the equations and comparisons due to its limited show size, the other three releases have collectively performed better than last year, bringing the February 2024 Box Office collection to a decent end with a 100+ crorebox office collection.
The three releases this month – Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Yami Gautam’s Article 370, and Vidyut Jammwal’s Crakk have collectively earned 112.10 crore, and while they might cross the 100 crore mark today, they might add another 12 – 15 crore or more to the month.
February 2024 box office collection crossing the 100 crore mark barrier is much better than last year, which saw only two Hindi releases that collected only 49 crore at the box office. Scroll down to have a detailed analysis of numbers, data, and figures for the month that is closing in three days.
While in February 2024, the three Hindi releases performed 114% better than the last year, the three films had a decent run as well. In fact, only Vidyut Jammwal’s Crakk seems to lag behind; the other two releases – Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s Valentine release Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya surprised at 78.83 crore while Yami Gautam‘s Article 370 has collected 25 crore in its first weekend.
Might Finish The Month At 125 Crore
Collectively, in the remaining three days, the three films might collect 12 – 15 crore more and might take the total of the month to around 125 crore or somewhere near the mark. Compared to 2023’s 49 crore with two releases – Shezada and Selfiee- it will be a much better number.
Best Performing Valentine’s Month In The Last 10 Years
From 2013 to 2024 (excluding 2021 with no releases), in the last 10 years, the best-performing Valentine’s month has been 2019, which cumulatively collected 316.53 crore at the box office with only 4 releases. Out of them, two were hits and 2 flops.
Only 1 Blockbuster Since 2013
In the last 10 years, the total number of hits and misses might surprise you. A total of 49 films have been released in the month of February collectively in the last 10 years. Out of them, only one blockbuster has been registered by Kartik Aaryan‘s Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety in 2018. Of these 49 films, only 7 have been clean hits at the box office!
